Carmack seems to be simulating a vtuber AI watching TV and playing video games.
If anyone here is doing that too, I would recommend taking a quick look at Neuro-sama on Twitch. They're using RL to play OSU, Minecraft, and Pokemon, and voice input + video image analysis to react to Twitch streams and documentaries. While being watched by 6.5K people.
Good point, although some background info should be noted: Vedal worked on Neuro-sama for about 10 years, and for most of that time it was a NN with a singular task of playing "osu!". I think it's only this year that he implemented a chatbot with TTS for her debut on Twitch. Although Neuro-sama is an impressive application of several existing technologies to make a virtual entertainer, under the hood Neuro-sama is several specialized NNs (one to play Osu, one to play minecraft, one for chat, and one for TTS) that, for the most part, don't know what the other is doing as very little data is passed between them. There is no scientific innovation or any claims of higher intelligence, but I think it's still a very cool system from hobby-engineering point of view. Neuro-sama is a ditz, but a funny one.
